Tanning FAQs

When you first visit the tanning salon, you’re probably full of questions and doubts. That’s why we’ve collected the most frequently asked questions about tanning in salons from the Google search engine. Better to ask, than to go astray! Here we go with Tanning FAQs!

How often should you tan?

If you’re all about that gorgeous glowing effect, we recommend that you tan twice a week. Remember to keep at least 48-hour breaks in between each tanning session. Let your skin rest. As you become more experienced, you can opt for longer and more frequent tan sessions.

How to start tanning?

It's very important issue in our Tanning FAQs! First of all, remember to prepare your skin before your tanning session. A scrub, epilation and proper hydration are essential. For all those who have never used a solarium before, we recommend choosing a tanning bed with a lower lamp power and cutting down your tanning session to a minimum.

Before tanning, it is also worth reaching for professional tanning lotions WITHOUT UV FILTERS. Using tanning lotions will allow you to keep your sessions shorter and still achieve a wonderful skin tone. The perfect choice will be our Sunphoria tan accelerator lotion, which is packed with natural fruit extracts as well as Tanphoria bronzing accelerator with coffee extract to keep your body firm.

How to tan fast?

Everything we mentioned earlier is the key to success. To tan quickly, remember to take care of your skin both before and after visiting the solarium. 

Adjust the time of your tanning session and the power of solar lamps to your preferences and experience. When in doubt, remember that the tan salon service will be at your disposal – the staff will be happy to answer all your questions.

And most importantly... choose the right tanning lotion. If you don't know your way around the different categories of sunscreen, read one of our previous articles - Tan accelerator or bronzer? [CLICK HERE]

Tanning while pregnant: Is it safe?

You have to give up tanning bed, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy. UV rays can cause problems with the absorption of folic acid, which is very necessary at this stage of development. In addition to consulting your doctor about tanning in the solarium, it’s also worth asking about other cosmetic procedures.

What to wear to a tanning bed?

It’s only up to you. That said, remember that covered areas will not tan, which may be inconvenient, for example when wearing strapless dresses. That’s why we often suggest our clients to sunbathe in a strapless bra and thong, which will prevent unsightly pale stains.
